Khaled, A Tale of Arabia
Crawford, F. Marion (Francis Marion)
Arabian Peninsula -- Fiction
=WORLD=--"Full of good passages, passages abounding in
vivacity, in the colour and play of life.... The pith of the
book lies in its singularly fresh and vivid pictures of the
humours of the gold-fields,--tragic humours enough they are,
too, here and again...."
=MANCHESTER EXAMINER=--"The characters are sketched with real
life and picturesqueness. The book is lively and readable
from first to last."
=A COLONIAL REFORMER.=
=ATHENÆUM=--"A series of natural and entertaining pictures of
Australian life, which are, above all things, readable."
=GLASGOW HERALD=--"One of the most interesting books about
Australia we have ever read."
=SATURDAY REVIEW=--"Mr. Boldrewood can tell what he knows
with great point and vigour, and there is no better reading
than the adventurous parts of his books."
=A SYDNEY-SIDE SAXON.=
=GLASGOW HERALD=--"The interest never flags, and altogether
'A Sydney-Side Saxon' is a really refreshing book."
=ANTI-JACOBIN=--"Thoroughly well worth reading.... A clever
book, admirably written.... Brisk in incident, truthful and
life-like in character.... Beyond and above all it has that
stimulating hygienic quality, that cheerful, unconscious
healthfulness, which makes a story like 'Robinson Crusoe,' or
'The Vicar of Wakefield,' so unspeakably refreshing after a
course of even good contemporary fiction."
=NEVERMORE.=
=ACADEMY=--"Is perhaps the best story of the Rolf Boldrewood
Series. Must be allowed to be one of the best works of the
period."
